House Republican leadership is agitated after the Washington Post published a transcript from a secret recording of one of the inner-sanctum conversations in the office of Speaker Paul Ryan.

The transcript shows House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy joking with his colleagues that then-candidate Trump and California Republican Dana Rohrabacher were both on the payroll of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"The unknown is frustrating," said one senior GOP aide, referring to the possibility that this wasn't the only private leadership conversation that was secretly recorded.

The most widespread theory in House leadership is that the secret recorder and the leaker was Evan McMullin, who as a former leadership aide participated in the June 15 conversation and confirmed the private conversation to the Washington Post. (I am told that the Post, in their back-and-forth with leadership over the story, privately said that the source wasn't McMullin. There's no evidence that he was the leaker and I've reached out to him for comment.)

4. Perhaps the term you are looking for is "exacerbate"

They are already suffering from delusions and paranoia.

Coming up after a brief commercial break, watch them go bonkers over Mueller giving the Russians uranium.

"The Russians assured us the fix is in, so now we can put off the Garland confirmation."

6. What part

of that was joking. First they said it never happened. They were told there was a manuscript and said it's fake. They were then told we have a tape. Then it became just joking.
